Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a method for measuring convergence of a cathode ray tube with three cannons and a shadow mask, as well as a device for implementing this method.
- French patent 2,480,032 discloses a method for analyzing the convergence of a cathode ray tube with three cannons in line according to which the light intensity of a monochrome light line is measured through an analysis slot vertical or horizontal moving on the screen of the cathode ray tube. Such a method requires special scanning circuits, different from conventional circuits, and therefore cannot be implemented on television sets without modification of these.
- the present invention relates to a method for measuring convergence of a cathode ray tube of the aforementioned type, this tube being connected to conventional scanning circuits, the measurement being carried out without intervention on these scanning circuits, without introducing criteria of human appreciation, and with a precision better than 1/10 of a millimeter.
- the present invention also relates to a method for measuring convergence of a cathode ray tube of the aforementioned type, this tube being mounted in a television receiver provided with a socket of the "Scart" type making it possible to inject a monochrome video signal onto each of the three corresponding canons of the cathode ray tube.
- the present invention also relates to a device for implementing the method of the invention, a device which is simple to carry out and of low cost price.
- the method of the invention consists in: producing on the screen of the cathode ray tube, in each of the zones where it is desired to measure convergence, monochrome bars alternately of two different fundamental colors, vertical or horizontal, fixed, the width of which or at least equal to approximately seven millimeters, these bars extending, over a height or width, respectively, of the screen at least one centimeter apart and on the other side of the measurement point, the light intensity of these bars being modulated according to an at least approximately Gaussian law; to determine the light medium of these bars for each of the two fundamental colors considered and to measure the distance, if it is not zero, between the light media of the two above-mentioned bars, this distance being the measurement of the horizontal or vertical component for a measurement carried out on vertical or horizontal bars, respectively, of the convergence of the cathode ray tube in the zone considered.
- the monochrome beam modulation signal making it possible to produce said vertical or horizontal bars is produced digitally and is in the form of a succession of steps, the number of which can be from 7 to 15 approximately, depending on the format of the cathode ray tube measured, the first half of these steps being of constantly increasing level, and the second half of constantly decreasing level, preferably symmetrically with respect to the first half, the level of the level of the first and of the last steps being just sufficient so that the illumination of the corresponding phosphors can be perceived by the sensor and the maximum amplitude of this signal being such that it does not cause the saturation of said sensor, the duration of the steps of these steps being substantially identical for all steps and equal to approximately 70 nanoseconds for vertical bars and 64 microseconds for hori bars zontal, these bars then having a width of approximately 7 millimeters
- the measuring device of the invention comprises a generator, preferably digital, of horizontal and vertical bars of the type defined in the method, connected by a selector to the guns of the cathode ray tube to be measured, and at least one photosensitive sensor connected to a circuit. of calculation synchronized with said selector, this calculation circuit determining the relative locations, with respect to a reference point of the sensor, of each of said light media and calculating their mutual distance.
- the senor essentially comprises a photosensitive transducer of the photosensitive strip type with transfer of load comprising a large number, for example 1024, of aligned photodiodes, and an optical system, disposed in front of the transducer and having a magnification, along the longitudinal axis of the transducer, substantially equal to the ratio between the length of the active part of the transducer and double or triple the width of the bars obtained on the screen, the magnification of this optical system being, in the direction perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of the transducer, substantially equal to the ratio between the width of said active part of the transducer and the distance between the centers of two consecutive phosphors of the same column of phosphors of the screen of the cathode ray tube.
- this optical system comprises a cylindrical lens and a biconvex lens.
- Figure 1 illustrates the optimal convergence conditions in a color television tube.
- the different analogous elements of the tube, corresponding to each cannon, and the columns of phosphors arranged on the internal surface of the screen of the cathode ray tube will be distinguished by one of the letters R, G or B, according to the fundamental color considered, that is to say for a three-color tube, red, green and blue.
- the three beams F R , Fy and F B emitted by the three in-line cannons of the cathode ray tube, reach the shadow mask 1 with different incidences to make the selection of the colors and, as clearly shown in the Figure 1, only the parts (a small proportion) of the beams passing through the holes 2 of the mask 1 reach the screen to illuminate columns of phosphors.
- the angles of incidence of the beams FRet F B relative to the beam F V which reaches the screen under zero incidence are the main parameters of the purity adjustment of the cathode-ray tube. If the tube is set for purity, each beam passing through the same hole in the mask can only lead to a column of phosphors corresponding to its own color.
- mask 1 greatly complicates the convergence analysis of the three beams. Indeed, convergence is considered to be optimal when the three beams strike at a given instant (during scanning) the same area 4 of the screen 3. In other words, the three light spots generated by the three beams must be confused on the 'screen 3. However, this unique spot is fictitious because it cannot be seen on the screen because of the presence of the mask.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows an equally fictitious situation of non-convergence (that is to say assuming the mask 1 removed) at a given location on the screen and when the beams are not subjected to any scanning.
- the convergence differences by means of the projections of the centers C RI C v and C B of the impacts of the three beams in an orthonormal reference frame xoy.
- the axis ox will be chosen parallel to the direction of horizontal deflection of the tube and the axis oy parallel to the direction of vertical deflection.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a small part of the screen of the cathode ray tube (seen from the outside) with a number of columns of phosphors 5 arranged substantially vertically considering the normal viewing position of the television tube.
- the colors corresponding to the different columns 5 are indicated in the lower part of FIG. 3 by the letters R, G, B.
- the illumination of the columns of phosphors reveals multiple images 6 of the mask holes (these often have an oblong shape and have their largest dimension oriented in the direction of the columns) by triplets 7 of the three colors, because of the differences in incidence of the three beams (see Figure 1 ).
- the columns of phosphors have different chemical compositions to correspond to the three fundamental colors and they are arranged in a predetermined repeating order (red, green, blue by observing them from 'outside of the tube) and with a predetermined pitch, in relation to the pitch ie perforation of the mask 1.
- the oblong holes 2 of the mask are staggered; as is the same for the corresponding 7 triplets.
- a signal such as signal 9 shown in the figure is collected at the output of this sensor. 3. If a video signal such as the signal 10 in FIG. 3 were applied to the same gun (the signal 10 being ahead of the signal 8 by an amount equivalent to the time taken by the electron beam of the gun to travel over the screen twice the pitch of the columns of phosphors 5), the same columns of red phosphors would be illuminated, and said photosensitive sensor would produce the same signal 9. This therefore results in an error in determining the middle of the red bar (this is obviously valid for the two other fundamental colors).
- the method of the invention consists first of all in producing a monochromatic video signal (that is to say sent on a single canon at a time), of at least approximately Gaussian appearance, making it possible to obtain on the screen of the cathode ray tube fixed horizontal or vertical bars the width of which is at least about seven millimeters. So that these bars are all substantially identical and reproducible, the invention advantageously provides for digitally producing this video signal, which is then similar to the signal 11 shown in the timing diagram of FIG. 4.
- the signal 11 comprises a first part 12 starting at time t0 and ending at time t 3 , part 12 being composed of steps of constantly increasing level, and a second part 13 starting at time t 3 and ending at time t ' 0 , this second part 13 being composed of steps of constantly decreasing level.
- the two parts 12 and 13 are symmetrical with respect to the instant t 3 (that is to say symmetrical with respect to the vertical of abscissa t 3 ).
- the level of signal 11 is y 0 , which can be zero, or at most such that it does not cause the screen of the cathode ray tube to be illuminated (i.e.
- the first step is produced, the level of which is y l , this level y 1 corresponding to an illumination just perceptible by the sensor.
- the last step of part 12 of signal 11 is produced at time t 2 , and its level corresponds to an optimal use of the dynamics of the system without causing saturation.
- the part 13 of the signal 11 being symmetrical with the part 12, the first step descends at the instant t ' 2 (symmetrical of t 2 with respect to t 3 ) from the level y 2 , and the last step descends at the moment t ' 0 (symmetric of t 0 with respect to t 3 ) from level y 1 to level y 0 .
- the duration d during which a step remains at the level it has just passed is approximately 70 nanos seconds for vertical bars and 64 microseconds for horizontal bars.
- the level, level y 2 , of the last rung of part 12 of signal 11 has a duration d like the other levels of this part, but this duration goes from t 2 to t ' 2 which is symmetrical with t 2 with respect to t 3 .
- the amplitudes of all the steps of the signal 11 are equal.
- the number of steps is such that the signal 11 produces on the screen of the cathode ray tube bars having a width of about 7 to 8 mm.
- the number of stages of duration d of the signal 11, which is odd can be variable according to the dimensions of the screen of the tube.
- FIG. 5 There is schematically shown in FIG. 5 an enlarged part 14 of a vertical bar when the barrel corresponding to the red color receives a video signal 15 according to the invention, that is to say a signal of substantially Gaussian appearance .
- this signal 15 could be digital and have the appearance of the signal 11 in FIG. 4.
- the signal 15 has been shown in correspondence with the columns of phosphors which it serves to modulate the illumination.
- the signal 15 is such that its maximum level coincides with the passage of the beam of the barrel R over a column 16 of red phosphors.
- a red column 16 of maximum intensity is then obtained on the screen.
- the red columns 17 and 18 immediately adjacent, on either side of the phosphor column 16, have substantially the same brightness both, but this brightness is lower than that of column 16.
- a suitable photosensitive detector such as that described below with reference to FIG. 7, is placed on the front face of the screen of the cathode ray tube, at the level of part 14, it is collected at the outlet of this detects a signal, such as on the signal 21 shown in FIG. 5, the envelope 22 of which has the same appearance as the signal 15.
- This signal 21 has a large central peak 23 whose amplitude corresponds to the brightness of column 16, then two peaks 24, 25 on either side of peak 23, whose amplitude is less than that of peak 23 and corresponds to the brightness of columns 17 and 18.
- the signal 21 comprises, on either side of the peaks 24, 25, other peaks 26 and 27 of amplitude lower than that of the peaks 24, 25, corresponding to the brightness of columns 19, 20 If the video signal was slightly ahead of signal 15, and was such that signal 28 shown in broken lines in FIG. 15, the maximum of this signal 28 does not correspond to the beam passage of the gun R on the column 16, but for example halfway between columns 17 and 16, a signal such as the signal 29 shown at the bottom of FIG. 5 would be obtained at the output of the photosensitive detector.
- This signal 29 comprises two large peaks 30, 31 of same amplitude, and on both sides of the peaks 32, 33 smaller.
- the envelope 34 of the signal 29 has the same shape as that of the signal 28, and the maximum of this envelope does not correspond to a peak because the maximum of the signal 28 does not correspond to the passage of the beam of the barrel R over a column of red phosphors.
- the maximum level of the envelope 22 of the signal 21 or of the envelope 34 of the signal 29 defines with great precision the middle of the red bar, that is to say the precise location of the bar on each side of which the bar has, in a cross section, the same amount of light.
- the middle of the bar coincides with the middle of peak 23, and in the case of signal 29, the middle of the bar has its abscissa midway between peaks 30 and 31.
- the method of the invention makes it possible to apprehend a small phase shift of the video signal, therefore a small displacement of the target bar used for the measurement. Without moving the photosensitive detector, the same video signal is switched to the blue gun, and the signal is observed at the output of the detector.
- the maximum of the envelope of this output signal corresponds to the middle of the blue bar, and the distance between the middle of the red bar and the middle of the blue bar gives, after calibration of the sensor, the value (expressed in mm. for example) of convergence, for the considered colors of the cathode ray tube subjected to the measurement.
- We do the same with green bars by switching the video signal on the green cannon and observing the signal at the detector output.
- the position of the middle of a vertical bar obtained in the manner described above is determined by placing a detector on the front face of the screen of the cathode-ray tube (including an example of embodiment is described below with reference to FIG. 7) of the photosensitive sensor type of the charge transfer type, at high resolution, orthogonally with respect to the bar, in the zone where one wishes to measure convergence.
- the measurement time is limited to at least 40 ms, i.e. the scanning time of a complete image for the European standard.
- Such a sensor provides in sampled form for a bar of a first color, for example red, a signal such as signal 21 or 29 in FIG. 5.
- This sampled signal is digitized linearly, and on the one hand, for all the samples, the sum N1 of the products of the digital value of each sample by the rank of the sample within said sampled signal, and on the other hand the sum N2 of the digital values of all of said samples.
- the rank of the abscissa in the middle of the bar (red for the example cited) is given by the ratio NI / N2.
- Such a calculation can be implemented using a processor whose program can be easily carried out by those skilled in the art. Without moving the sensor, the same video signal is switched to the barrel corresponding to a second color, for example blue, and the process described above for the color red is repeated. We then obtain the rank of the abscissa in the middle of the blue bar.
- the difference in rank of the media of the two red and blue bars gives, after calibration of the sensors (i.e. establishment of the correspondence between difference in rank and actual distance on the screen), the value of the horizontal component of the convergence, in the zone considered, for the two colors considered
- FIG. 6 shows a part 35 of a horizontal bar produced, using the video signal 36 according to the invention in an area of the screen where it is desired to measure "horizontal convergence".
- the video signal is applied to the red cannon.
- Red candle holders such as candle holders 37 and 38 located in the middle of the bar have maximum brightness
- red tealights such as tealight holders 39 to 42 located on the edges of the bar have minimum brightness.
- a photosensitive sensor of the aforementioned type placed on the front face of the screen, perpendicular to the bar, collects a signal such as the signal 43 shown in FIG. 6. This signal can be used in the same way as the signal 21 collected for measuring "vertical convergence".
- Figure 7 a schematic sectional view of a sensor according to the invention and for measuring the transverse brightness of the horizontal and vertical bars produced according to the method of the invention.
- the sensor 44 of FIG. 7 includes a linear photosensitive strip 45 (not shown in detail) consisting for example of 1024 photodiodes connected to two analog shift charge transfer registers. Each of these photodiodes has a dimension of 13 x 8 microns, the pitch of the photodiodes of the strip is thirteen microns.
- the charges acquired by the illuminated photodiodes are transferred in parallel in said analog shift registers.
- This output signal is sampled at the frequency of the external clock ensuring the offsets. By counting the periods of the clock signal, it is easy to know the sample number and therefore its rank.
- Said shift registers being of the analog type, the amplitude of each sample of the output signal is proportional to the light intensity received.
- Such a rectangular optical field (of dimensions 15 microns x 15 mm) is insufficient to be able to carry out the convergence measurements for any position of the sensor on the screen of the cathode-ray tube.
- the longitudinal axis of the sensor strip is placed, for example, substantially opposite the scanning line A (see FIG. 5, this line A passes halfway between photophores next to columns 19, 16 and 20)
- the sensor will receive practically no light coming from the photophores of columns 19, 16 and 20 since the distance between neighboring photophores of the same column is approximately 0.2 mm so that the photodiodes field of the sensor is only 15 microns wide.
- the axis of the sensor strip is placed facing a column of green or blue phosphors while red bars appear on the screen, this sensor receives virtually no light from the red tealight holders.
- the invention provides for having in the sensor an additional optical system which only modifies the width of the rectangular optical field of the sensor. So that the sensor can, whatever its position on the screen of the cathode ray tube, receive without fail the light emitted by the photophores of each of the columns of photophores which it cuts (in the case of vertical bars) or emitted by the photophores columns of the three columns (case of horizontal bars), it is necessary and sufficient that the width of the optical field of the sensor is at least equal to the distance between the phosphors of the same column; namely about 1.2 mm.
- the strip 45 is fixed on a support 48, for example a printed circuit board comprising the circuits necessary for operating the photosensitive strip.
- the support 48 is fixed in a dark room 49 comprising on its front face a circular opening 50 whose axis 51 passes through the center of the useful part of the bar 45.
- the longitudinal axis of the bar 45 is perpendicular to the axis 51.
- an elongate ring 52 is fixed, coaxially to the axis 51, then the objective 46 comprising a lens system 53.
- This objective is, in a preferred embodiment, one objective, standard F: 1.4 of 25 mm.
- the extension ring is provided to ensure with the standard objective 46 said magnification of 0.87. It is however clearly understood that if another type of objective alone used to ensure the magnification of 0.87 was used, the extension ring 52 would not be used, such another objective being directly fixed on the chamber 49.
- the cylindrical lens 47 On the anterior face (that is to say that which must be turned towards the screen) of the objective 46, the cylindrical lens 47 is fixed, using an appropriate support 54, so that the the longitudinal axis of this lens is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip 45.
- the length of the lens 47 is equal to or slightly greater than the length of the optical field of the sensor, namely 15 mm, the center of the lens 47 being located on axis 51.
- the sensor 44 is applied by its front face 55 to the screen 56 (whose photoemissive inner layer is referenced 57) of the cathode-ray tube so that its axis 51 is perpendicular to the tangent plane (not shown) at the point of incidence 58 of this axis 51 on the screen 56. Means (not shown) allow the sensor 44 to be held firmly in this position.
- a photoemissive inner layer is referenced 57
- Means allow the sensor 44 to be held firmly in this position.
- the sensor 44 is connected to a control and processing circuit (not shown) essentially comprising: calculation circuits automatically carrying out the aforementioned calculations; a bar generator circuit in accordance with the invention which can be connected sequentially to each of the three guns of the cathode ray tube (or at least of the two guns R and B) for approximately 40 ms each time; a clock signal generating circuit for ensuring the offsets of the shift register of the sensor strip; and appropriate power supply circuits.
- this measurement could be carried out on a television set in working order, provided it is simply that this station has a "Scart" type video socket view (with which most current television sets are provided) giving direct access to the three canons of the cathode ray tube of this station.
- the electronic circuits of the television linked to the sensitivity of the scan must have sufficient stability so as not to disturb the measurement.
- the senor is calibrated as follows.
- the screen is illuminated monochromatically (using any of the three fundamental colors) uniformly, and the sensor is placed substantially in the center of the screen, the longitudinal axis of the bar 45 being parallel to the lines the screen.
- a signal such as the signal 59 schematically represented in FIG. 8 is then obtained at the output of the sensor in an orthonormal reference frame xoy.
- This signal 59 comprises a regular succession of similar peaks having roughly equal amplitudes, each of these peaks corresponding to a column of photophores.
- the number of peaks of signal 59 is equal to the number of columns of phosphors entering the optical field of the sensor. For a field having a length of 15 mm, the number of columns, and therefore of peaks, is approximately 18, the pitch of the columns being approximately 0.85 mm. Each of these peaks is made up of approximately fifteen samples.
- the step of the samples (i.e. a difference in rank equal to unity) of the sensor output signal is then equal to 0.820 / D (value expressed in millimeters, measurable on the screen of the cathode ray tube) . It is then easy to express in millimeters the value of the convergence component by multiplying the value of the difference in respective ranks of the midpoints of the bars observed by the sensor by the ratio 0.820 / D, which is a constant of the sensor considered.
